'Looney Tunes Cartoons': Meet the voices behind your favorite characters on the HBO Max show
The 'Looney Tunes' gang is timeless. They have managed to live on for generations and have entertained everyone with their bizarre antics and catchphrases, be it Bugs Bunny's "What's up doc?", Elmo hunting Bugs during rabbit season and calling out "Wabbit, wabbit!", and adorable Tweety, who has also shades of sheer evil when it comes to taunting Sylvester, the cat. All in all, 'Looney Tunes' brought together the craziest bunch of animals and humans and made our childhood memorable.
And now they are back on HBO Max, letting fans relive their childhood days. The new series features 80 11-minute episodes, which are comprised of shorts that are different in length and have adapted storylines for today’s audiences.

The stellar voice cast members include Eric Bauza, Jeff Bergman and Bob Bergen. Pete Browngardt (Uncle Grandpa) and Sam Register serve as executive producers.
